The ‘specialty’ diets are what throws everything out of whack. Everyone who talks about getting enough protein from a vegan diet hasn’t ever had to deal with a diabetic. That whole lentil/bean thing really cuts into the limited carbs aspect, and (while it is a symptom of the fucked US healthcare system) makes rationing insulin a near impossibility.
Woof. Yeah I forgot to mention I’m also trying to cut back on added sugars just to play it safe after reading The Case Against Sugar and having two diabetics in the family.
The only gluten-free, dairy free, sugar-free thing I can reliably make is a tofu scramble; and the only cereal-like thing that comes close is “Scottish Oatmeal” or just gluten-free oatmeal. What to eat when I’m in a rush and headed out the door? Still working on that one.
